I was actually going to write a post about the comments I'm inevitably going to get now that I'm pregnant from people who think that my website should be a place for them to live out their wild and drunken fantasies, people who have come here and said before that marriage and moving to Utah and life itself has tamed me, people who are frustrated that I don't talk about lesbian sex anymore, and I made up this comment earlier today and sent it to a friend in an email:
"Dooce, babe, I'm sorry but you've totally lost it. I remember when you were a hip young thing in LA rubbing elbows with celebrities and getting drunk and shit. You've totally lost your edge. It can't be marriage, because I'm married and I'm still the coolest person ever. I'm totally bored with you now. Bye, bye."
You know the comments, they've been left here before. And they never leave a valid email address or website, or use their real name.
And then someone today left this gem, anonymous and with no email address, almost WORD FOR WORD like the one I made up. Amazing!
"Congrats, but I must say - I've found I'm pretty much done with this site. Nothing personal, but we're a long way from the shit talkin, booze drinking, running into stars, getting fired from her job, Dooce. Now it's just puppies, babies, and Martha Stewart. Hello LifetimeTV. Don't say, 'well don't read it then!' Because I won't - it's just that it was at one time exciting, hip and cutting edge. I wish you the best Dooce and Blurb, but I think it's time I sailed into the sunset. Yeah I know, you're saying 'good riddence.'"
The thing is, I'm totally not saying good riddance. I'm saying, BELIEVE ME, MOTHERFUCKER, YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH HORMONAL PREGNANT LADY.

I thought that poster was a real cunt!
And it feels good to be #1.

hoo boy! that kid is gonna have quite a vocabulary.
anyone wanna place bets on the first word?

i still find you fascinating :)
4. sales leads said:
I like your posts too.
5. Jeff said:
I'm willing to believe you'll stay hep, but... You realize when this kid rebels, raised as he/she will be by whiskey-swilling badass heathens, there's decent odds the rebellion will come in the form of Mormon-fueled young Republicanism? Sheesh.
6. eddo said:
What the Devil? I mean really, what is so AMAZING about their life? Where is their super website with tons of cool pics and entertaining banter about everything and nothing? Apparently, if they were coming here, then they were living vicariously through you anyway, and then the baby thing freaked them out because they just couldn't see theirself having a kid. What a LAMO!!
I've said it before- WE LOVE THE DOOCE!
7. essie said:
Grrrr, argh, pffft, pllrrbbb...sigh. I don't know which onomatopoeic (had to look that puppy up and it looks like technically I'm using it wrong) word to pick, but poo with knobs on to the self-righteous, unbearably cool people. Plain old life can be interesting and seeing a slice of dooce's life through her eyes is fascinating and fun, because whatever it is, it won't be plain old. And truly, woe be the person who crosses the nauseous, hormonal pregnant lady.
8. christine said:
Dooce... I, for one, will continue to read your stories because no matter where your life takes you, you will always be younger and hipper than I am. :D
9. Kate D. said:
I've only been reading this site for, like, two months. I know what it's like to live in LA, hob-knob with famous people, drink large amounts of alcohol and I find that stuff all pretty dull. What I find exciting is people growing and changing. Finding love, buying a house, having kids. That's real life. The other stuff is just what you do while you figure out what life is. I've never posted a comment before...never felt the need...but you're anonymous poster is an idiot and will either wake up one day sad and alone or married with a dog, a house and a kid on the way. Either way they'll end up disappointed with what their life became. Congradulations on the baby. I hope it's a healthy and happy one. Remember, if the parents are happy, the kids are sure to be. Best of luck. Thank you for giving me a glimpse into your life. It gives me something better to do at work...other than work.

People are stupid. The end.

12. Lorelei said:
I didn't even know you were pregnant. Durrr. Well, congratulations on that. I'll keep reading your site.
13. Kayjay said:
I am still mystified that people actually take he time to write and send messages ike that. If I get board reading a blog I used to like, I just stop reading it. No one makes you type in a URL, or forces you to look at the screen, and it doesn't make one bit of difference whether you read it or not, as far as the blogger is concerned. So why make a big, snotty production of it? It makes me think of grade school, walking up to someone with the "I'm not your friend/I'm not speaking to you" bit. I don't get it.
14. Fox said:
The thing is, it's the writing, not the subject matter, that keeps me (and most others, I would guess) coming back. (Which isn't to say that reading about Hollywood fools, and lesbian sex isn't fun.)
It's difficult not to take comments like that to heart, but it's really just not worth it. Cowardly readers/commentors just don't deserve a second thought.
Anyway, you know how supportive most of your readers are. While that can be just as annoying, it's a lot nicer than the few jerks out there.

Being cool is is for people who can't handle raising kids!
17. Ryan said:
Change is inevitable. I'm not going anywhere.
18. zak said:
You can never please everyone. If you were still living in LA and rubbing elbows with the beautiful people then the comments would be 'all you ever do is go out and get drunk and oogle celebs'.
Hello. People. Its called growing up. People evolve.
19. estella said:
YOU ROCK. That same idiot had the balls to then come to MY site and leave bullshit messages in MY comments for telling him here that he was an idiot. Of course there was no email or website. If you're going to bring it, BRING IT WITH YOUR EMAIL, ASS.
20. joy said:
Heather, I'd cover your back anytime. Hormone some more. Did I spell that right?
21. estella said:
Hey, and how sweet is that Kate D.? Pret-ty sweet.
22. Karin said:
I would venture a guess that the anonymoid who left that asinine comment has never encountered a hormonal pregnant woman before, or s/he would have known better than to piss one off.
Anything is cool as long as it's written about well, and so I think dooce.com qualifies, in spades.
23. Lorie said:
wow i dont even know you and I'm damn excited! Congrats and a big FOOK YOU to that big stink. Why even mention they would stop coming here in the first place.. like you'd give a rat's ass. Man, what a crack up :D
24. bruce said:
Just ignore the goddam boneheads. Motherhood and and being a badass aren't mutually exclusive.
Poop on 'em and keep up the good work.
25. louisegyrl said:
and so what - your life has calmed down a bit - that doesn't mean that you aren't still interesting.
it's the real life stuff (like Kate D. said) that is really interesting anyway. keep writing - keep growing and changing - and good luck with motherhood!!!
26. Honey Bear said:
Here is a little word of wisdom from your friend Honey Bear. Honey Bear loves to eat honey, but every now and then he get stung by some upset bee because Honey Bear is hungry and eating all the bee's honey. But you know what, that fuckin bee IS A GODDAMN BITCH, AND I SQUASH THAT MOTHERFUCKER DOWN WITH THE VENGENCE, MAN!. Shit, what the was I talkin about? Anyhow, the Honey Bear thinks some people with an opinion should sometimes JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP and CHOKE ON THEIR VOMIT. Seriously, though, fuck those detractors and tell them to step off before you lay a beating on them that their momma won't forget.
27. that gay guy said:
i'll bet $50 on "motherfucker"
for the first word, of course
28. posterboy said:
I've spent the past several years watching you transition from elbow rubbing with stars dooce to martha dooce stewart. And I still love you as much today as the day I started reading. Dooce will always will be #1 in my bookmarks.
29. Kimberly said:
Sweety, being married and starting a family doesn't make you uncool...not knowing when to grow up is and anyone who can't be happy for you is a jackass! Your wit and style is impressive and I would trade a hang over for morning sickness any day! You will be a kick ass mom and still a kick ass partier when the time is right! Don't give up on us cause we wont give up on you!
30. TS said:
like YOU of all people are worried about stupid opinions.
Like my momma always tells me..."the opinions of worthless people are worthless."
Fuck 'em.
It's not your surroundings that made you cool in the blog world. It's your fantastic writing style. It's your incredible wit. It's your outstanding grasp of the english language.
Only you could make Utah look cool and hip.
Once again. Congratulations! :o)
31. melly mel said:
Seriously Dooce. Shame on you for having an honest, evolving, and still entertaining life. Shame on you for growing up and finding a life that you're happy with. Shame on you for falling in love and settling down with your soul mate and reprodooce-ing. You are so fucking selfish.
32. Brandi said:
Dooce, First off congrats! I'm so happy for you! Second opinions are like assholes everyone has one some just stink more than others.
I love coming to your site it's different than others and very enjoyable don't stop, this world needs more people like you.
33. leandra said:
Since I read yesterday's entry today, I'm a bit behind... Congratulations on the new edition. ;)
34. Vera said:
I feel the exact opposite from that insensitive anonymous poster. The first thing that came to my mind when I found out you were pregnant was "Just think of all the scandalous new fodder for blogging!" I personally CANNOT wait to read your lengthy, overly exaggerated posts with titles such as "20 reasons why I think a pregnancy should last three months instead of nine," "And this is why I will never allow my stepfather to come within five feet of the offspring again," "Sometimes babies stink," etc. Because yes, as others have pointed out, it is the writing and the wit we come here for. We all have seen that no matter how quotidian the subject, Dooce can make it oh-so-fun.
35. Carla Beth said:
The beauty of the boards is posting our personal reactions to what Dooce writes. While I feel what the poster in question POSTED was rather narrow, I respect what they are saying. Too bad the CONGRATS posts were pulled down so darn soon. That was a wonderful outlet for all of the fans, even for those who dare to express contrary opinions. And to be honest, had I encountered this site back in the heavy BOOZE and CELEB days, I wouldn't have stuck around. That's not my scene. What everyone is saying about the evolution of this blog is just fantastically SPOT-ON, though, and it's a gorgeous thing. :o)
36. broch said:
Dooce, Ill make you a deal... You keep writing and Ill keep reading, sound good?
37. betty said:
you know what's funny? she is SO going to still read your site.
congrats. you are seriously rad.
38. ada said:
hey
i know what you mean about the whole pregnancy-must-mean-i-love-martha crap.
i have a 8 month old, i don't like martha, and i still get stoned when the moment presents itself
motherhood is amazing
39. Benjy said:
I'm still along for the ride... so long as it doesn't involve a minivan.
40. aibee said:
I've just found your blog, and while finding during your gettingshitfacedandoglingcelebs years would have been interesting, meeting you now when you're having a baby...wow, just wow.
In conclusion, this anonymous nimrod should go suck an egg. The end.
41. pretty_paranoia@hotmail.com said:
What a bitch. Thats all I have to say.
42. Michele said:
LOL@because they'll be back, they always are...like a pyro to a flame...
43. Adam said:
There we go! I knew a clever trap like that would arise some deep anger within you!
44. just me said:
Post #6 by eddo (as well as just about every other positive message) was exactly what I was going to say. Your content is great...ALWAYS, and your writting is wonderful. Your sentences draw me in. Especially..."BELIEVE ME MOTHERFUCKER, YOU DON‘T WANT TO MESS WITH HORMONAL PREGNANT LADY."
But to that person who left the message about no longer reading, I think it's all from being jealous of you and angry that:
1) Their life is completely boring.
2) They lack ambition to reverse the above.
3) They could never express daily activities the way you can through your writting.
So, because you had the perfect words for what you were thinking about his/her lovely message, I am completely willing to go with the first...
"good riddence"
Your life is better without his/her eyes scanning across your halarious, touching, truthful lines!
Because, well, that person don't deserve to read your things.
And, then again, maybe I don't either...? I mean, I am a stranger who stumbled across your site. But still...Just know I love your writting and wish you all the best with this new chapter in your life...
Take care.

45. just me said:
P.S. I wanted to apologize for that last post being so long! I looked and was like, "Damn, I took up a lot of room with that..."
Sorry.
46. Sarae said:
But... what's wrong with puppies, babies and Martha Stewart?
47. denise said:
i haven't left a comment here before but i have to say that the appearance of "honey bear" as a poster has brought joy to my heart.
48. Katie said:
What is wrong with these fucking people? Do they have not have lives??
49. sabrina said:
anonymous posters are the BEST. The douchebag that posted the anonymous comment is undoubtedly still reading and probably sitting there in his pee-stained tighty-whities getting off on all the inadvertant attention. You have a cult-like following, so don't sweat it. The beauty of it is that you are one of the few people who can find the humor in and entertain the masses with things like puppies, babies, and martha stewart.
50. dvl said:
be all the bitch you can be, baby. :)
51. Heather #2 said:
You're gonna have a baby. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BABY!!! I'm so fucking happy for you both, you motherfuckers!
Shit. I just sent you all my best stuff in your "Cheer Up" care package. Now I have to come up with a "New Arrival" care package.
52. michael said:
real name, real email, real website :)
i just caught on to your website like a week ago and i must say, yeah you're a grown woman, but you still write about real stuff and that's what makes your website so damn interesting. Congrats to you for that.
Congrats also with the whole baby thing, gonna name it Michael? :)
53. Dave said:
Pregnant or whatever you remain a compelling exemplar of all that is hip and cool.
54. Jen said:
Dooce, I must say that you're the only weblogger that I've ever come across whose lengthy archives I've bothered to read in full, because you're just that darn good.
You have the gift of being able to write about the most mundane of tasks and events (watching a Levis commercial, or grabbing pudding) with the kind of talent that makes word whores like me wet in their special places.
Keep it up, and congratulations on the new addition to the blurbdoocery!
55. Pat said:
girl don't sweat the scuz we got your back we'll knock em down for you to stomp on them small minded scuz like that have huge cunts and very small dicks

The hell with them. I don't post a comment very often but I do read and enjoy your site everyday.

reproDOOCE!
59. Hairyken said:
Is it just me, or are you saying you're 'pregnant from people who think that your website should be a place for them to live out their wild and drunken fantasies'?
And there (s)he's saying you've lost your edge :)
Anyway, such comments being so similar to what you made up yourself says more about your ability to put yourself in their position and their inability to come up with something original than it does about the way you choose to live your life, what you put on your site, and their coolness alltogether.
60. leslie said:
Dooce, if I were a rich woman, I would buy you a new car just to see this on your baby's birth certificate:

Why yes, I was fooling around with the Utah Baby Namer. Thank you for asking.

63. jenny said:
As I told my six-year old: It's too bad that some people can only feel good about themselves by making other people feel bad. Of course, I was specifically referring to other first-graders, but, obviously, some people never mature beyond that level.
I think you're cool.
P.S. I have a minivan (grimace), but I found a bumper-sticker that says, "Minivans are tangible evidence of evil" so I feel a little better about the whole thing.
64. John Burton said:
If it helps, I will talk about lesbian sex for you.
CONGRATULATIONS. Awesome news. Am really happy for you!
65. kevin said:
I've worked in the same place for about three years (blame the tech collapse for that) and have seen both me and my friends/colleagues grow considerably in that time. We were effectively a rabble of drunken college students and have become sensible(ish)though slightly disillusioned adults who are now getting married, having babies and buying houses. I think that anyone who had wanted to carry on drinking 'til closing time on a Tuesday evening would be sat in the pub on their own wondering where everyone else has gone. It just happens - like going bald.
66. roachhaus said:
Know what's funny? The people that actually take the time to TELL you that they are leaving. You know? Just leave! Don't SAY you're leaving. Peace, dooce. And congrats.
67. EC said:
Whaa? Hormonal...PREGNANT? Did I miss a post somewhere? Congratulations! You think Chuck was some good content? Just wait, let the poopy times roll.
68. shy said:
wow - i must have missed that comment! that dude/dudette has forgotten that this is still somewhat of an online journal. it's not a place of fictional fantasy written to please the audience... and i never expect an author of any online journal to write to up his/her ratings. that totally defeats the point. online journals will change and evolve and go through phases both good and bad with the owner of the site. isn't it that the way it's suppose to be? anyway, one last time... congrats about the mini-dooce on his/her way!!!
69. aubs said:
Please continue to write about whatever the hell you please. It wouldn't be Dooce any other way. And personally, I'm MUCH looking forward to forthcoming stories infused with a hormonal edge and the optimistic, ebulliant glow that only a pregnant woman can have! Congrats again...
70. mihow said:
I find it funny when people react this way in order to make themselves feel better about living a reckless lifestyle all the while doubting it. Don't get me wrong, the reckless life is fucking blast for a while, but then you start to wonder what's it like to not feel hung-over and shitty every day, what it's like to remember conversations and nights out on the town, and you start to rethink things a bit. I obviously can't speak for everyone, but that's been my experience.
Jealousy rears its stinkin head. Babies are cool, reckless and exciting.
71. Dianne said:
Congrats again, and hey, babies make it all more interesting.
Fuck anyone who says otherwise.
72. Jon said:
Bah! They are fools for sending such messages. Congrats. I *like* that your material has changed, it means you're a human being, and not a robot.

Well, if they need to move on, let 'em. You have a solid loyal readership, here Dooce. Just like the papers, though, people get disenchanged sometimes. It's got nothing to do with you.
I'm pretty sure the first word will be either Blurb or Dooce. I have no idea what my child's first words will be... THAT great adventure (the baby) will begin sometime in the next few days!
75. zchamu said:
It's called having a full, multidimensional life, people! Nobody stays in the same lifestyle forever - and if they do, it's called a "rut". The ironic part is, that person will likely be back in a few years, once THEY start frequenting Home Depot.
Congratulations, BlurboDooce!

I suspect having a child might soften you up a little, but it isn't going to damage the style and skill you have. You're site will still be one of my favorites, even if it is a new, different, dooce talking.

79. slave to the world said:
fuck 'em , dooce. they're obviously bored with their lives that they have to live vicariously through you.

congratulations and best wishes!
81. Stephanie said:
Who's to say that getting married and having babies and Martha Stewart is boring?
82. JenMac said:
I have been silently enjoying your blog for some time now. I wasn't around for the LA period, and I'm sure it was cool, but I think jackass has a very narrow definition of cool. You're a very crafty writer, that's why I keep reading. Congratulations to both of you. I'm looking forward to following this very big, very cool change in your lives!
83. Ariel said:
Part of the joy of blog reading is getting to watch the writers evolve and grow and change in real time...and it gets REALLY interesting over longer periods of time. I've been reading the diary of this rural canadian teenage mallrat for almost three years, and it's amazing to see how she's changed. It's facinating when you look at the story arc of her life these past few years. Same with you, Heather. The marriage, the move, the pregancy...the plot just gets more interesting!

Well, you know, if it's the tantalization of sensationalization, that's what E! is for, fuckers. Or get some lube and whack a smile onto your face. And shut up.

you know, dooce... i think my wife said that to me just last night!
cogratulations, too. welcome to the world of waiting for nine-freaking-months!
87. Marvelous said:
ive been reading you fooorever you kicked ass then and you kick even more ass now. It's ashame people are so dissatisfied with thier lives that they lash out at those who aren't in hopes of making themselves feel better. I feel bad for you anonymous poster you must lead a very very sad life
88. monkeyinabox said:
Yeah DOOCE, damn you all to hell for not keeping up with the drunk, poop, crap! How dare you get older and more mature! I want to see how when you 69 you get drunk and walk down the street asking people about their poop. How dare you have a family and move on in life! This isn't about you! We control you! obey! obey! :)
89. Zandria said:
I completely agree with Ariel (post #83). No matter how good somebody is at writing, having the same subject matter over and over for years (and just telling it in a slightly different way), wouldn't keep your audience interested. It would also mean that you're not naturally progressing as a person, growing up and changing because of all the experiences you've lived through. We can only write about the things we know -- you wrote about L.A. when you were there, and now you write about your current life (as you SHOULD).
90. Dennis Scanland said:
Dooce, with my wife having given birth to a beautiful baby boy a mere 5 weeks ago, I must say that your priorities do change but I haven't felt any more maturation happening. And I am someone who could probably use with some growing up. 32 and still acting like I'm 18. Look forward to the best time of your life!
91. karen said:
i used to read this site by this guy who wrote great, sharp, funny stuff, and now all he writes his how everyone thinks he's great and how much of an asshole he was to some guy on the street, so i can see prefering one type of writing over another, but it's your site, not ours. besides, everyone has to grow up a little at some point.
92. petit hiboux said:
that's motherfucking right, motherfucker!
go dooce! you're motherfucking PREGGERS! it's seriously the coolest thing i've heard all day.
93. the mome rath said:
a good writer can make any content interesting and entertaining. in my opinion, you certainly qualify.
94. Carrie said:
::laughing along with Leslie about "reproDOOCE"::
Dooce, this is just like the stuff rock bands go through when they expand their material and change style. There will always be some diehards that get pissy about the change from the format they have become fixated on, because what they really want is to hear the same formula song over and over. On the flipside, then there will be the vast majority who will grow with the band, and realize that if the music is still rocking, who cares if it's not exactly like their first CD? It's still good.
For example, did "Meet the Beatles" sound ANYTHING like "Let It Be?" Not really. Did that mean the Beatles sucked because they grew up? Most fans would say "No way, they rocked 'til the end."
And Dooce, girl, you are still rocking.
Here's wishing you a happy pregnancy and a healthy, wonderful story line, er, baby. ;-)

I've been a lurker since the early days, so when a friend directed me to "Tha Shizzolator" I had to plug in dooce.com to see what happened. Try it, using the URL for this post (even after it's archived), and see the Snoop-style version of Dooce's fiestiness.

Congrats on the babe, Dooce. I love you. Sinceriously.
96. Sarah said:
Dooce- I have been reading for what seems like forever- and I have to say that your writing style is what keeps me coming back for more and more- and I can't for the life of me think why anyone would post something like that if they weren't in fact trying to get attention. Keep that in mind with a kid on the way. You are edgy and entertaining- no matter what you talk about. Keep it up!

Ever consider that the friend you sent the fake email to might have set you up? That could explain the anonymous/wrong-email stuff...
101. zchamu said:
Maybe in 2008 someone will come out with a documentary. "Dooce: The Early Years", featuring stories about asian database administrators and poop. Then they'll come out with a followup that talks about Chuck and living in the rent's basement, and that'll be like the "transitional" phase into Dooce Phase Three: Anklebiting Terroristas. There's enough material for a whole college course here.
102. Melissa said:
I feel like I should apologize to you...because I think I'll actually enjoy you more now that you are a married homeowner, now that you're a hormonal pregnant lady...and if you think you're hormonal now, just wait until you're post partum.
I think it'll be a riot...but I'm not sure if that actually makes you feel better...because pretty much I'm anxious to see you become me, only funnier, cuter and more exciting.

I'll bet $50 dollars on the first word being shit. Since, motherfucker is WAAY too hard for a baby to say.

Thing that really scares me, more than dorky people and dorky postings, is the Utah Baby Namer.

So anyway this is a comment about your site in general and not this post in specific, hope that's cool. Try as I might I've been influenced by your writing style AGAIN and am using the all caps thing for emphasis. It's good let me tell you.

it's fun to be young and wild, but that poster need to realize that everyone has to grow up at some point.
having just had a baby 18 months ago, i have to add that parenthood is great-wonderful beyond my wildest dreams.
congrats to you and yours dooce. i, for one, plan to keep on reading your site.

I have to say that one of the greatest things about your site is reading all of the comments. Such a cool group of people that hang out here. Keeps me coming back several times a day! (the only other website that could ever do that for me was ebay, when I was into that auction stuff!)
And I only have ONE bit of pregnancy advice for you. Kegels, kegels, and more kegels. I also might add that they are good for more than just delivering a baby. here's a fun link...

Anyway I'll keep reading. :)
